I live in the Florida panhandle along the gulf coast. Florida passed a clean gasoline law just a few years back. They designated what gas tanks to use, filters, purity, a tip line that works, etc. Since the law took effect I have yet to find any water in the bowl of my carburetor. Most branded gas stations are closing down and becoming convenience stores with generic gas pump names. That way they can order gasoline by price and not brand. The best gas in my area is Citgo but they all burn alike. Fossil
